Mohamed Nasheed, the former President of Maldives, has been cleared off ‘terrorism charges’ by a Court in the Maldives.

The Court also ordered the release of several other politicians who had been jailed in various political charges.

Welcome tonight’s SC ruling calling for the immediate release of political prisoners and the restoration of their civil and political rights. President Yameen must abide by this ruling and resign. Urge all citizens to avoid confrontation and engage in peaceful political activity.

The opposition alliance petitioned the top court of the country to oust the current President Abdullah Yameen for ‘unprecedented corruption’, misrule and rights abuses.

The top court of Maldives didn’t give a verdict against the current Maldivian President Yameen. Instead, the government ordered the release of the former President Mohamed Nasheed and reinstalled several MPs who had been stripped of their positions.

After the latest move of the top Maldivian Court, the opposition has a clear majority in the parliament.

The opposition now has the power to impeach the sitting President Yameen. The main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) said the court ruling is a “death knell for President Yameen’s corrupt and criminal dictatorship.”
